I've just noticed this attempting to start during boot. I have been
mucking around with winetools and iTunes etc prior to getting mplayer to play Quicktime files ok.

Is this a security risk, a search on forum not very helpful. Comments please.

Cheers

If you don't need it - don't run it. Even if it has not any security risk now, it may show up later and who knows - you'll notice or not.

1. I did not install it.
2. Could you explain how to disable it?
